THE MAIDEN’S PRAYER.
»
JOHN G. WHITTIER.
She rose from her delicious sleep, '
And put away her soft brown hair,
And, in a tone as low and deep
As love’s first whisper, breathed a prayer ;
Her snow-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms it hid.
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped a bare and snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like a sweet enow-flake, soft and mute;
And then from slumbers chaste and warm,
Like a young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that young and matchless form;
* And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
Oh, God ! if souls as pure as these
*>eed daily mercy from Thy throne—
if she upon her bended knees,
Our holiest and purest one—
She, with a face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light;
If she, with those soft eyes in tears,
Hay after day in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee,
How hardly if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven !
AN ANCIENT TOAST.
It was a grand day, in the old ohlvalric time,
the wine circling around the board in a nobl
bar, and the sculptured walls rang with senti
ment and-song.
The lady of each knightly heart was pledged
by name, and many a syllable significant of
Liveliness had been uttered, until it came to St.
Leon’s turn, when, lifting the sparkling cup on
high—
“l drink to one,” he said,
“ Whose image never may depart,
Deep graven on a gratefulheart,
Till memory is dead.
To one whose love for me shall last.
When lighter passions long have passed,
So holy ’tis and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt,
Than any pledged to yon. ”
Each guest trp started on the word, r
•And laid a hand upon his sword,
With tury flashing eye;
And Stanley said: *‘We crave ihename
Proud knight, of this most*peerless dame,
Whose love you count so high. ”
St. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood,
Thus lightly to another;
Then bent his noble head as though
To give that word the reverence due,
And gently said, “My Mother !”

No. 14. /
The Major General Commanding being com
pelled by wounds to relinquish, for the present,
the command of the Department, takes this op
portunity to express to the officers and men of
the Coast Division, under Brigadier General John
P. Hatch, his approbation of their good conduct
during the operations on the line of the Charles
ton and Savannah Railroad, since November
last.
At the battle of Honey Hill, on November 30th,
although unsuccessful in the attempt to drive the
enemy ftom his forts, the Division still maintain
ed the fijrht with unwavering steadiness during
the day, and retired from the field after nightfall
in good Order and unpursned. Their losses attest
alike their courage and discipline:
At Dve«aux’ Neck, near the Coosaw’hatchie
turnpike, <3l December 6th, the advance, in num
ber much ilferioi to the opposing force, met the
rebels in at open field, and drove them from the
ground, ensured one flag, forced them to seek
safety in flight, leaving their dead and wounded
in our handi, and thus occupied a position from
which the Railroad was under the easy fire of
our guns.
On December 9th the skirmish line forced its
way to within a few yards of the Railroad and
the forts which guarded it, remaining there
under & meat galling fire until an opening had
been cut through the woods between otir bat
teries and the road, and thus perfected the work
so gallantly begun upon the 6tn.
The Divisiqi has obeyed all orders promptly
and cheerfully, and since its co-operative move
ments with (Jeneral Sherman’s Army, has vig
ilantly -watched the enemy at its front, has
promptly seized each fortified position upon the
first indication of a proposed withdrawal on the
part of the rebels, and has thus inspired the
Commandii" General with the belief that it will
continue to do faithfully and well the work allot
ted to it in the great campaign which, is being
prosecuted in South Carolina.
To BrigacMer Generals Hatch and Potter, who
have commanded this force, and to all the gallant
officers and men under them, the Major General
Commanding tenders his thanks for the past,
and his earnest wishes for their continued suc
cess. !
